| Vorderseitenbeschreibung |
The obverse is arranged in a vertical tripartite layout with the central text panel dominated by the large intaglio inscription 'Fünfhundert Franken' in bold serif lettering, surmounted by the issuer legend 'DIE BANK IN BASEL' and flanked on each side by classically engraved allegorical putti figures resting on decorative cartouches incorporating guilloche rosettes. A female portrait medallion is centred at the top edge above the main inscription field, while three signature lines for Cassier, Präsident, and Director appear below the denomination text. The four corners carry the numeral '500' in large figures, and a lower panel in smaller letterpress type presents the denomination in French ('CINQ CENTS FRANCS') and Italian ('CINQUECENTO FRANCHI'), separated by a Swiss cross vignette. |
